logan5:
I would take a guess that you don't have sendmail set up right. (trust me, I racked my head for DAYS!! DAYS I SAY!! trying to figure this out)

No, you don't have to fuck with MX records or BIND. As long as sendmail is set up right, when an e-mail gets sent to your web address, it will come to your IP, (through dyndns) (really, all dyndns does, is listen for a request for logan5.com, and when they get a request, their name servers, point that request to your IP. )

If you have sendmail installed, look at sendmail.cf & sendmail.mc
(note: you may have to install the sendmail.cf package, this enables you to "re-build" the sendmail config file.)

In one of the above files, look for a line...shit *is thinking and scratching head*

Um.. there is a line in there that makes sendmail listen only on localhost. or 127.1.1.0 or whatever, anyway, UN-COMMENT that line, then save the file, rebuild sendmail.cf and restart sendmail.
I have to set it up on another machine this weekend so I could give ya a more descriptive help then... ( i just finished an 11 hour work day)

hope that helps

Thanks, Bi0s. It all sound so simple.

I'll have to play around with the mail server settings and see what happens.

Thanks again for the help.

Also try Webmin! it roX0rs very much. gives you the ability to admin all those settings & the rest of your box from a web based administration.
